Source: AcousticBrainz, dump of 2022-06-23 (CC0) · MusicBrainz core data, 2026-09-17 (CC0) · how each number is measured. Measured up to 23.06.2022 — AcousticBrainz stopped collecting in 2022, so nothing released after that date is here.

31 recordings credited to Billy Joel cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 127 BPM; 94% of them are in a major key.

7 of the 31 are in G major, which is more than any other key in this catalogue.

No tempo band leads; the fastest recording here is Piano Man at 178.2 BPM and the slowest The River of Dreams at 89.7.

This is a count of what AcousticBrainz's contributors happened to analyse, not a discography: a recording nobody ran the extractor over is simply absent.
